It is the summer holidays and soon Harry Potter will be starting his fourth year at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. Harry is counting down the days; there are new spells to be learnt, more Quidditch to be played and the Hogwarts castle to continue exploring. But Harry needs to be careful – there are unexpected dangers lurking… I absolutely love the Harry Potter books and out of the seven I'd probably say that The Goblet of Fire is my favourite, and this is mostly down to the creatures and other wizarding students we meet in the novel. As a lover of Hogwarts it's interesting to know what other wizarding schools are like in the world of Harry Potter, and to explore further the seemingly endless list of creatures. I can never find a boring or uninteresting moment in The Goblet of Fire and I never get sick of reading it again and again as it's so easy to lose myself in Harry Potter with the astounding events and distinctive characters. I really like how Hermione Granger strives through in this book as not just a clever girl, but as a girl with passion and determination. I like her complex personality; normally she is typecasted into just being 'intelligent', but Hermione is shown with a more girly and emotive side in this book, giving her more depth than just being Harry's clever friend. She is well-rounded and is more accessible as a regular person (though a witch) with feelings and a personality. In this book we regularly come across Cedric Diggory, a Hufflepuff, who allows us to see the Hufflepuff house in more depth rather than just briefly touching upon it as it has been in other books. I like how we can see the fairness Cedric strives to uphold throughout this book, showing us the value of Hufflepuffs. Anyone who hasn't read up to The Goblet of Fire should definitely re-think that decision as this is the book where it all changes and it's then impossible to not continue reading the rest of the books. The Goblet of Fire definitely deserves a 5/5 in my opinion.

It's the pivotal fourth novel in the seven-part saga of a young wizard's coming of age. The thickest. The juiciest yet. Harry Potter turns fourteen. But will all his friends? Rumors have persisted that one of the characters may not see the conclusion of this novel, something the author has refused either to confirm or deny. But we who love Ron, Hermione, Hagrid...even pitiful Neville Longbottom...wait anxiously to see if they will make it through safely. No one's fate is certain when Volde -- excuse me -- He-Who-Must-Not-Be-Named is part of the picture.
What is certain is that a novel of excruciating suspense awaits, leavened by J. K. Rowling's inimitable sense of humor and the burgeoning details of her magical world. Whether it's taking a front-row seat at the International Quidditch World Cup, or meeting the new Defense-Against-the-Dark-Arts teacher, or finding out if Harry really does start a romance with Cho Chang, fans of the history-making boy-wizard will find their thirst for Hogwarts adventure slaked deliciously...at least for a little while!

I love these books so much. There is a lot of violence for young kids, but not too much. There are some scary elements as well. There is also some mention of “snogging” and gfs and bf if some parents don’t agree with that at age 15. Of course, it’s about spells, witchcraft, and magical beings. These are some of my favorite books and I highly recommend reading them. Harry, Ron, and Hermione are great role models and relatable characters for kids.
Right now, I'm reading this book. Don't read the sentence after this if you don't like spoiler alerts! I'm dreading when I get to the bit when Cedric Diggory is murdered. R.I.P Cedric. You were a good Hufflepuff. Reviewed by Slytherin4Life
This book is definitely the best book in the series!
I love the book, I am just after the Christmas Ball and where Hagrid reveals he's half giant.
Truly a amazing book!

i love harry potter i fav book
One morning, Harry Potter wakes up because his scar is hurting. He's just woken from a vivid dream about Lord Voldemort. In it, Lord Voldemort performs a deadly curse on a Muggle. But the dream can't be true, can it? Also, why is Harry's scar hurting? When Harry arrives at Hogwarts, he learns that the Triwizard Tournament will be held at Hogwarts. In the tournament, the three main European schools, Durmstrang, Beaxbaton, and Hogwarts each choose a champion to complete three challenging tasks. The contest hasn't been held for years due to its high danger level, but this time, Dumbledore assures the students that no one will get badly hurt. Only seventh-year students will be allowed to compete in the Triwizard Tournament, so Harry doesn't put his name into the Goblet of Fire, which will choose the champion from each school. But when the day comes to reveal the champions, the goblet chooses him and Cedric Diggory to represent Hogwarts in the Triwizard Tournament. Harry didn't put his name in, so someone older must have put it for him. But who? Will Harry be able to compete against students who are older than him? Or will he look like a fool in front of the others? I liked this book because it was really funny. I recommend it for people who enjoy reading fantasy novels.
This was a very good book! The harry potter books keep getting thicker 😐
